I'm absolutely 100 and fifty million thousand percent correct that no one in America will have seen the dub. But to those Canadians who have Teletoon and were lucky enough to have seen the episode, then discuss away.

It'll soon be aired in the UK too.

This thread can stay now but for future reference: new SM episodes air on Teletoon Canada on 12 p.m. EST. It is not quite that time yet and preferably we open review threads after the episode has aired.

It's been aired, but I don't know anyone who has access to Teletoon besides this user named Arian

 

[Poke Trey]

I didn't see the episode again, but I suspect that this Arian guy might show up to do business again.

 

[edgeFlare]

Hope he actually comes on.

 

[GurauCosmin]

I hope too.

I want episode 4

I can't seem to find this episode anywhere on YouTube.

I can't seem to find this episode anywhere on YouTube.

We need Arian to upload it somewhere.

Glad to see this thread is devoted to me. :3

Alright, well, what happened was, I was waiting for the episode to appear on Teletoon's on demand service, so I could record it without any watermarks or lower thirds. Problem is, it still hasn't surfaced.

Anyway, I hope to just go to my other home and record my DVR of the actuall airing tomorrow.

 

[Poke Trey]

Sounds good! Any means necessary to get EP is fine.

Currently watching the episode on Youtube if anyone is interested

I think they kept Rowlet's Japanese voice, which is nice.

 

[BigDocFan]

Managed to watch the episode, Rowlet is quite funny and adorable too

Sounds like Rowlet, Comfey and Pikipek have a female voice actor whilst Trumbeak and Toucannon have a male

 

[Playerking]

They didn't keep Rowlet's JP voice

Well it's similar enough. They both sound like birds.

Did Mallow make a comment about Ash 'having done this before' in the sub after he captured Rowlet?

Lisa Ortiz has confirmed that Rowlet doesn't keep its Japanese voice though can't tell me who until it airs in America

Did Mallow make a comment about Ash 'having done this before' in the sub after he captured Rowlet?

Watching the subbed version online, ''Well I guess you can call that Satoshi's own way!''

 

[Playerking]

Did Mallow make a comment about Ash 'having done this before' in the sub after he captured Rowlet?

Yes.

Mallow: Great! Though, I think Ash has done this before.

I heard they only kept 3 pieces of BGM and all the Pokemon got dub voices, not surprised, we all know what to expect- dub music itself had a lot of circus and elevator vibes to it in a lot of situations, really. I'd comment on the acting & writing, but we all know how that's been for many years now, so no point in beating that dead horse- I can say I think it has actually gotten worse than it already was, though.

Tbh the only reason I'm watching the dub is just to get a laugh out of it by now, because I absolutely cannot take it seriously at this point.

Yay, Rowlet! Not much to say here; it was a cute episode. As for the dub, I liked the voice they gave Rowlet. It was similar to the Japanese version but they subtly implemented the Pokémon speak in there. The music was more of the same, but Rowlet's theme was nice. The only really negative thing I have to say about this episode is that Pikachu's loss to Grubbin was super contrived.

 

[Poke Trey]

This was a good episode and the Dub has yet to dissapoint me with the voices, music and the fact Rowlet is a part of Ash's team which is really cool. I liked this one and I hope to see more of this later on.
